Materials used in Electronics

Three types of materials based on the atomic structure.
Conductors
Insulators
Semiconductors

Examples
Examples of insulators are rubber, plastics, glass, mica, and
quartz.
The best conductors are single-element materials, such as
copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), and aluminum (Al).

Single-element semiconductors are antimony (Sb), arsenic (As),

astatine (At), boron (B), polonium (Po), tellurium (Te), silicon (Si),
and germanium (Ge).
Compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide, indium
phosphide, gallium nitride, silicon carbide, and silicon
germanium are also commonly used.
